The Catholic Telegraph

The Catholic Telegraph

"The Catholic Telegraph" is a newspaper published by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Cincinnati, which covers the Cincinnati metropolitan area, the greater Dayton area and other communities in the southwest region of Ohio, with a total diocesan population of approximately 500,000. The "Telegraph" is described on its official website as the oldest continuously-published Catholic diocesan newspaper in the United States.

History

The "Telegraph" was established in October 1831 by Bishop Edward Fenwick, O.P., the Archdiocese's first bishop. The paper's use of the word "" predated the invention of the communication device by over a decade. As one of the first Catholic newspapers in the nation, the "Telegraph" was sold in cities throughout the country's middle section, including Louisville, Kentucky, Baltimore, Maryland, Washington, D.C., St. Louis, Missouri, and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.cite news|url=http://www.catholiccincinnati.org/tct/CT%20Anniversary/week%203.html|title=The end of the Civil War brings no end to the violence|work=The Catholic Telegraph|publisher=Archdiocese of Cincinnati|accessdate=2007-10-21]

Under Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, the "Telegraph" took a strong abolitionist stance, in contrast to other Catholic newspapers.cite news|url=http://www.catholiccincinnati.org/tct/CT%20Anniversary/week2.html|title=The Civil War era|work=The Catholic Telegraph|publisher=Archdiocese of Cincinnati|accessdate=2007-10-21]
